On the 19th of October, 2002, Sara K. performed, together with Chris Jones at
the ARTmax in Braunschweig, Germany. The concert was captured both on video and
on (digital) tape for the Bowers & Wilkins Nautilustour-DVD. The live atmosphere
of this performance (an additional concert especially organized by B&W) comes
across both aurally and visually amazingly well.

"Recording a live DVD is truly an adventure, with many potential surprises –
the artist’s performance, audience reaction, acoustic environment, sound
technology and the interaction of all these parameters. After only a few
moments, it was clear that Sara K. and Chris Jones were delivering one of their
finest performances ever and that the audience was completely under their spell.
The hall’s abundance of glass and stone surfaces produced a bright and
transparent sound, with an overtone-rich room response and a 2-second natural
reverb. Consequently, there was no artificial reverb added during mixing. The
acoustic authenticity of this recording is mainly thanks to four B & W Nautilus
801 loudspeakers, driven by four Classé CA-401 power amplifiers, delivering a
breathtakingly uncoloured sound to the audience. Thanks to the 801’s remarkable
radial dispersion, the musicians were able to hear themselves perfectly, without
any need for additional monitoring. This phenomena enabled a more intense
dynamic interplay between the musicians on stage and furthermore eliminated the
problem of sound colouration caused by monitor speakers 'bleeding' over the
vocal microphones. The final result is a recording without compression or
additional EQ-ing, with remarkable dynamics and an exceptionally authentic
sound. " - Gunter Pauler

"Sound wise the DVD is very, very good, making it a real happening and
feeling as if you were there. Sound wise the DVD got a 10 out of 10. This DVD is
one of the best, a must have for everybody who likes Sara K. and for everybody
interested in guitar-music, strong woman vocals or everybody interested in
audiophile recordings.“ - Patrick van den Bergh, www.dvdzine.nl 7/2003
